The Queen Doesn't Like Your Selfies

Next time you're in London and happen upon the Queen of England on the street (or, you know, when you're camped out outside Buckingham Palace), don't try to capture a photo. Queen Elizabeth is reportedly anti-selfie, according to The Telegraph.

The paper reports that the Queen told U.S. ambassador Matthew Barzun that she finds it "strange" to be met by a sea of cell phones when she looks up at a crowd. "She was essentially saying: 'I miss eye contact,'" the ambassador says HRH told him during a "nice chat" at the palace.

Though we get the whole eye contact thing, we're surprised the Queen isn't more into the selfie trend, since Hello! reports that she's quite the technology buff: Her Majesty's had a mobile phone since 2001 and also owns an iPod. Plus, Prince William and Harry apparently taught her how to text. She's probably listening to Iggy Azalea and playing Words With Friends at this very moment.
